Worshipping Goddess Durga Madhubani Painting on Handmade Paper

This Madhubani painting depicts the auspicious worship of Goddess Durga. Durga, the formidable multi-armed Hindu deity, embodies divine feminine power, or Shakti, celebrated as the protector of dharma and destroyer of evil. Her veneration is particularly prominent during festivals like Navaratri. In this artwork, KARM 108 renders the goddess with the characteristic stylised almond eyes and a form outlined with the customary double-line borders, the composition densely filled with traditional motifs such as the sun, moon, lotus, and perhaps peacocks, all woven into a vibrant devotional narrative.

The artist KARM 108 has meticulously crafted this piece using natural colours on handmade paper, honouring a tradition that originated in the Mithila region of Bihar. Madhubani, or Mithila art, was historically painted by women on the freshly plastered mud walls and floors of their homes for significant life events like weddings and festivals. From the 1960s, these intricate narratives transitioned onto paper, with artists employing either the bharni style, known for its bold colour fills, or kachni, which relies on delicate line work and cross-hatching to create form and texture.
